COPENHAGEN: The Danish newspaper Politiken apologized February 26 for offending Muslims by reprinting a cartoon of the Prophet Mudammad wearing a bomb-shaped turban.
Several Danish newspapers reprinted the cartoon in 2008 after police reported a plot to kill the cartoonist, Kurt Westergaard. The cartoon set off anti-Danish protests in the Muslim world. Politiken said its apology was part of a settlement with a Saudi lawyer who represented eight Muslim groups in the Middle East and Australia.
